Abstract

This study investigated how the prospect for development in a relationship affects interpersonal communication, taking into consideration the expectation and will to continue a relationship. Our prior study approached the matter experimentally by extrinsically manipulating the expectation for relational continuation, but this study featured self-initiated, on-going relationships, and examined consistencies and differences between expectancy of an ongoing relationship and will to continue a relationship. Twenty unacquainted dyads and 25 acquainted dyads participated in this experiment. Consistent with our prior study, when the relationship was considered continuous, they were motivated to communicate more, and the influence of individual differences in interpersonal orientation decreased. On the contrary, when the relationship was considered temporary, those with higher social skills conversed more with their partners. Compared to our prior study, there were some new findings. When they expected their relationship to extrinsically continue, they gazed at their partners more, while they talked more and perceived more satisfaction in a conversation with will to continue a relationship. Furthermore, will to continue a relationship influenced interpersonal communication more in unacquainted dyads than in acquainted. <br>
